Freeride Foiling Tips 2
360s

Simon's tips

Great stuff again. This will keep me busy next summer!

Nice video!
I haven't made any foiling 360s yet, but these tips helped me to have more successful attempts:
- Enter like a normal gybe. Don't try to lay the sail down too early.
- Enter a bit higher than usual.
- Carve more with the front foot once backwinded.

Great vid guys

Personally I feel its the most exhilarating foiling manoeuver you can do, I haven't planned out of one yet but getting closer!

Raking the rig back and leaning forward is key, but the speed at which the tail of the board whips around is where I lose the momentum.

JJ, has anyone in your neck of the woods done a upwind 360 yet?

Great video, thanks! Seems that in step 8 where you say "body moves over center line", the back foot also moves to the center of the board.

For sure, back foot slides back to the centreline of the board.
Have seen a few attempted upwind 360's but no successful ones yet. Would love to see a how to if someone wants to put it together
